DESCRIPTION:Presented by author/editor Marian GrudkoTuesday, September 247:00-8:00 pm

What is the best way to deal with mistakes?

Don’t make them in the first place!

In Writers Workshop Part 2, Marian will present concrete examples of some of the worst writing mistakes, followed by clear directions on how not to have them spoil your own writing.

You will learn to avoid the sometimes not-so-obvious problems that cause an editor to toss a submission even before getting to the “good part”!

Examples will range from narrative pacing and dialogue to specific issues of grammar, word usage and punctuation.

The Graphic Novel Book Club is an adult book club that meets monthly to discuss comics and graphic novels. We will select from a wide variety of titles - indie and foreign comics to classic superhero storylines. Whether you are just getting into comics or a life-long reader, you'll find good conversation and something new to read.

Registration is required. Call the Pawling Library at 845-855-3444 to register or send an email to Donald at adult@pawlinglibrary.org.
